Scott,
I'm no expert, but courts have ruled that a work is copyrighted from the time it is published if the author intend for it to be copyrighted but forgot to put the copyright symbol and date thereon. This comes from songs being created by one person and used by another without permission even when no copyright was stated. The author has ownership.
To properly copyright a work, you need the name of the holder, the date and the symbol or the word copyright. You can update the date as often as you wish.

In putting a copyright notification on the bottom of the page does it
need to be copyrighted from beginning date to the current date or just the
current year? Does it need to be in the metatags in the <head> as well?
I've seen it both ways, are they both correct? Just the current
year would be a lot simpler. There is a website related to where I work
that hasn't been updated in at least 3 years. When I was looking at it
recently to see how they were coding our logo I noticed the page had a
copyright notice of this year even though it hasn't been touched since they
put it up I think. I got to checking and they are using a Java script to
generate the current year in the page so it is always current and you don't
have to go change every page at the end of the year which I have been
doing.. If I do the same does that meet the requirements of copyright
notification? The Java script does not work in metatags.

In conjunction with the masthead negotiations/discussions, the Board and I
feel that a contingency discussion is also prudent to have.
I offer the below as discussion points only. We welcome all Project members
to express their concerns, opinions and to ask questions.
Please forward to XXGenWeb Project lists.
Again, below is intended as discussion points *only*. Main discussion will
take place on the -Discuss list.
Subscription information is available at:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/USGenWeb/USGENWEB-DISCUSS.html
Please have courtesy and respect for your peers and the hosts of our mailing
lists as we have this discussion.

Our USGenWeb Project bylaws state:
ARTICLE II. PURPOSE "Section 1. The USGenWeb Project is an organized group
of volunteers working to create an online center for genealogical research
by linking every county in the United States. The purpose of this
organization shall be to gather genealogical and historical information for
free online access by researchers". Key phrase being:
"free online access by researchers".
The bylaws make no reference to which server any member or project of the
USGenWeb Project must use. Long set precedence allows for the use of
"server of one's choice."
That choice extends to county, parish, town, special project, etc., and the
USGenWeb National pages.
As a Project, we are at a crossroads. Rootsweb and its parent company have
been a very gracious and accommodating host for many years. And as a
Project we would be remiss not to appreciate that.
However, some corporate changes and decisions of late have placed the
USGenWeb Project in a tenuous position. We need to evaluate their business
decisions vs. our mission of providing " ... free online access by
researchers."
This is a huge decision and discussion. It is a decision as to whether or
not to stay with our current host. It is a discussion I feel that must be
held in conjunction with the masthead discussion. It is a discussion and
decision that we must have as the USGenWeb Project community.
The key question for the USGenWeb Project to discuss is:
How important is it that we are seen in the genealogy community as the
"USGenWeb Project .. Land of Free Genealogy"?
Having answered that question, we need to evaluate many things. We have
three domains: .org, .net and .com
We need to consider hosting, specialized tools [php, db, etc], maintenance,
administration, financing and security, to name a few. We need to make
choices to promote the growth and future of the USGenWeb Project.
Please understand these concerns are for the *national pages only*, but I
feel a very important discussion to have with the entire USGenWeb Project
membership.
Bottom line is what is best for the USGenWeb Project?

Wow! Thank you everybody for your warm wishes. After a long holiday weekend,
it was so nice to see all of your messages.
My husband and I had a full weekend - we visited some cemeteries on Friday
in Pueblo County (St. Vrain and Roselawn) and then visited the Colorado
State Fair. On Saturday we took in some high school football and spent time
with family. Sunday was time for friends and today was the Taste of
Colorado.
Ive made some changes to the Otero County website so far, but still have
some more to make and eventually information to add. Ive been working on my
contact information and links pages and looking to write a few more Research
Guides in addition to the Census and Marriage ones that I have posted. Have
a look, dont mind the dust and feel free to drop me a line.

Still here, I have completed most of the work on Mineral county, at
least the major stuff. I need to go though every page and check them,
there was a LOT of weird coding and it looked like pages for at least two
websites. Very weird.
I've been learning CSS and have been converting my websites to use
style sheets, I will get to Alamosa and Rio Grande one of these
days. Mineral and Costilla had styles embedded in the pages but I took it
all out and put it in a linked style sheet so it was the same across each
site because it wasn't consistent and only added more code to each page. I
have 5 websites out side of GenWeb that I run, 4 of them are personal and
our website at work which I spent several hours reworking the other day. I
figured out how to set margins the other day which was the final problem I
had. With today's wider higher resolution monitors it has become a problem
when the text goes from one side of the screen to the other..
